ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 4/21/2026 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

when you have zero PG play, even a bottom tier starting PG like Mid VanVleet is like a god to your team

 

Just win the home games

Threes are going to be the difference. Either we hit them or they do

 

Typical - Ime is making this team worse.

Rockets owner and GM are burying their heads in the sand now.

 

We have to see this team with a competent HC first. Pistons under Monty vs Pistons under Bickerstaff.

 

Fertitta must be delusional or just doesn't care.

 

They will have to wait till season is over

 

We are our own worst enemy. We make bonehead plays or silly fouls

 

I think it’s real easy to stuff the paint when you know the other team can’t shoot. To me that’s the very very very clear problem. Even when we get it in the paint it’s a struggle. This roster struggles to make open shots. Wide open shots. And bunnies. You can’t coach your way around that.

 

Lol at fans buying tickets for G3.

They should ask for a refund.

 

They are ecstatic regardless they have Sorber and 5 picks incoming.

 

Game thread pages getting to Mike d antoni score. @Tfor3

 

Dude is a liar.

He had some big talk when he bought the Rockets.

 

I haven't been on here much this year really because, honestly, I've hated watching this team play the whole year through, even when we are winning. Even to start the season when we were #1 in scoring, I was watching, knowing, this won't last. I absolutely loath stupid basketball and we play the stupidest basketball I think I've ever seen. I've seen less talented teams. I've seen teams that were too old, too young, too injured...I can stand that. I understand that. But to just be plain stupid...ugh.

 

lets go half on this. Must see game.

Marcus Smart cant shoot like Amen and Kennard is an 8 ppg scorer. How come JJ can unleash them and Udoka can't? Udoka is just dumb on both sides of the court.

Everyone had Rox winning the series and most were predicting a sweep. That means Rox had a much better roster on paper. But because we have the worst coach we are about to get swept.

 

Rockets stopped rebuilding in the middle of their rebuild. You don't stop rebuilding until you find a YOUNG superstar to build around. Rockets tried to take a shortcut with Durant and it blew in their faces. Who is the superstar on this team after Durant leaves? Rockets have good players but no superstar no top 10 player.

 

Luke Michael Jordan Kennard

Watching paint dry might be more entertaining than watching this offensive scheme.
